Celebrate Arbor Day at Holden Arboretum with a visit through the treetops and a presentation by a tree canopy expert, which are planned throughout the weekend from Friday, April 29 through Sunday, May 1 at the arboretum’s Corning Visitor Center.
“Out on a Limb – Exploration of Global Forest Canopies,” will also be the featured Arbor Day lecture at 7 p.m. Friday. The speaker, Meg Lowman, Chief of Science and Sustainability at the California Academy of Sciences, is an internationally known tree canopy researcher and the author of “Life in the Treetops.” The lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
